Make a difference with Female Friday

Female Friday - a newly launched initiative by the Healthy Mom & Baby Clinic, the Journey Counselling Centre and Oasis FM - is set to collect sanitary towels, toiletries and bras for less fortunate Grade 7 learners in the Kouga region.

Bernadette Swartz from Oasis FM in Jeffreys Bay, says, “The initiative took flight af-ter a radio programme with Sarah Darby and Thandi Radebe - highlighting the desperate plight of young girls who sleep with men to afford sanitary towels and food parcels. Basic needs.”

They decided to start a drive where these items can be collected to assist female learners.

Local organisations, businesses and residents can get involved by making a much-needed and life-changing donation: new bras (keep the tag on and include the slip), sanitary towels and toiletries (roll-on, spray, lotion, facecloth and soap) packaged in a gift bag.
